In May this year at KSW 94, Artur Szpilka quickly lost to Arkadiusz Wrzosek after just 14 seconds of the fight. Previously, the 35-year-old fought three MMA fights. He won all three, defeating Sergei Radczenko (June 2022), Denis Załęcki (September 2022) and Mariusz Pudzianowski (June 2023).
Artur Szpilka revealed who he will fight. And when
Now Artur Szpilka is preparing for another fight during XTB KSW 105. Everything indicates that he will face Errol “Bonecrusher” Zimmermann. This has been talked about for several weeks, but now Szpilka has confirmed it.
– It's no secret that I'm being tried for Errol Zimmermann, so it could be a correspondence fight before the rematch with Wrzosek. I must admit that previously I treated MMA as an adventure. Today this is no longer the case. The fight with Arek took its toll on me, so my goal is Arek Wrzosek, regardless of where we are in our career – admitted Szpilka in the “Klatka by cage” magazine.
He also revealed that the fight would take place in April.
– I have a fight in April and I'm already preparing, training twice a day. I added more MMA and here we go. We're not slowing down. For now, Arek has moved away a bit, but the goal is the same. Today we know that I will fight someone else, I am being matched with Errol Zimmerman. A correspondence duel before the rematch. It is known that if Arek wins now, he will look at fighting for the belt, but the higher he is, the more momentum the fight with him gains – added Szpilka.
